Re: Federal DHS Employee Instigating Race War!!!

If it had been a white guy running a Neo-Nazi or White Supremacist website, the man in question almost certainly would've been crucified for it. The fact that this guy's essentially getting off with a free pass is simply absurd.

I'm honestly curious as to how on Earth he was able to get away with it for so long in the first place. You'd think that someone would have taken note of his activities between 2009 and today.

Someone, somewhere, was almost certainly "looking the other way" before the SPLC made the issue too public to ignore, and they deserve to be canned for it every bit as much as the actual perpetrator.

I agree. I'm sure they check up on their employees occasionally, and that would include their work-related computers too.

He has not gotten a free pass, I bet he gets fired. Most people dont search racist sites and even if they ran across it, how would they know it was his. I can see why they did not catch him.

I also have to wonder what kind of security clearance his job required, if any.

I'm not sure about the Secret variety, but Top Secret basically requires that the person in question stay away from extremist political organizations which might advocate violence or sedition against the United States' government or its citizens. This is supposed to be completely non-negotiable.

It's really pretty baffling that the DHS can justify allowing this guy to keep his job at all, when you think about it.

Somebody's playing fast and loose with the rules, that much is absolutely certain.

Exactly. I don't know if things are wildly different in the DHS than they are in the uniformed services, but virtually every aspect of this case brought forward so far stinks to high heaven of corruption and incompetence.

I couldn't agree more, and this is NOT being reported on television news that I'm aware of. A friend of mine mentioned it to me today because she heard some DJs on a radio station talking about it and how they were peeved, so I looked it up online and there it was. Strange how it's not a top story because it's pretty messed up situation.
